Parallel computing has been the enabling technology of high-end machines for many years. Now, it has finally become the ubiquitous key to the efficient use of any kind of multi-processor computer architecture, from smart phones, tablets, embedded systems and cloud computing up to exascale computers. _x000D_ This book presents the proceedings of ParCo2013 – the latest edition of the biennial International Conference on Parallel Computing – held from 10 to 13 September 2013, in Garching, Germany. The conference focused on several key parallel computing areas. Themes included parallel programming models for multi- and manycore CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs and heterogeneous platforms, the performance e...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Parallel Computing, Euro-Par 2006. The book presents 110 carefully reviewed, revised papers. Topics include support tools and environments; performance prediction and evaluation; scheduling and load balancing; compilers for high performance; parallel and distributed databases, data mining and knowledge discovery; grid and cluster computing: models, middleware and architectures; parallel computer architecure and instruction-level parallelism; distributed systems and algorithms, and more.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th European PVM/MPI Users' Group Meeting held in Dublin, Ireland, in September 2008. The 29 revised full papers presented together with abstracts of 7 invited contributions, 1 tutorial paper and 8 poster papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 55 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on applications, collective operations, library internals, message passing for multi-core and mutlithreaded architectures, MPI datatypes, MPI I/O, synchronisation issues in point-to-point and one-sided communications, tools, and verification of message passing programs. The volume is rounded off with 4 contributions to the special ParSim session on current trends in numerical simulation for parallel engineering environments.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on OpenMP, held in in Rome, Italy, in June 2012. The 18 technical full papers presented together with 7 posters were carefully reviewed and selected from 30 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on proposed extensions to OpenMP, runtime environments, optimization and accelerators, task parallelism, validations and benchmarks
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on OpenMP, IWOMP 2011, held in Chicago, IL, USA in June 2011. The 13 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the proceedings. The papers are organized in topical sections on using OpenMP with application, tools for OpenMP, extensions of OpenMP, and implementation and performance.
Innovative Computing for Green Technologies aims to introduce the latest technologies and promote international collaborations across the scientific community and, eventually, the general public. It consists of 3 sections. Each section explores how technologies give real-time responses to current environmental, technological, social and economic challenges, which can be beneficial in reducing carbon emissions, improving resource utilization, promoting active engagement of citizens and a sustainable environment. Multi-layer provincial system of innovation is made up of digital networks, individual intellectual capital and the social capital of the city, which together constitute collective intelligence. Economic competitiveness and innovation achieved through the knowledge-based economy mark a city as intelligent, allowing it to generate a ‘spatial competitive advantage’ through industrial districts, regions and learning clusters supported by digital networks and artificial intelligence. A technophile will love this book as it presents the solution to face challenges and advanced concepts to make technology more feasible.
The most powerful computers work by harnessing the combined computational power of millions of processors, and exploiting the full potential of such large-scale systems is something which becomes more difficult with each succeeding generation of parallel computers. Alternative architectures and computer paradigms are increasingly being investigated in an attempt to address these difficulties. Added to this, the pervasive presence of heterogeneous and parallel devices in consumer products such as mobile phones, tablets, personal computers and servers also demands efficient programming environments and applications aimed at small-scale parallel systems as opposed to large-scale supercomputers....
Gain Critical Insight into the Parallel I/O Ecosystem Parallel I/O is an integral component of modern high performance computing (HPC), especially in storing and processing very large datasets to facilitate scientific discovery. Revealing the state of the art in this field, High Performance Parallel I/O draws on insights from leading practitioners, researchers, software architects, developers, and scientists who shed light on the parallel I/O ecosystem. The first part of the book explains how large-scale HPC facilities scope, configure, and operate systems, with an emphasis on choices of I/O hardware, middleware, and applications. The book then traverses up the I/O software stack. The second...
